Quantum Anomalous Hall Effect through Canted Antiferromagnetism

Most canted antiferromagnets are also anomalous Hall antiferromagnets (AHE AFMs), i.e. they have an anomalous Hall response and other responses with the same symmetry requirements. We suggest that AHE AFMs are promising materials as hosts for high-temperature quantum anomalous Hall effects. By considering models of two-dimensional (001) perovskite layers with strong spin-orbit coupling that isolates an effective total angular momentum $\tilde{j}= \frac{1}{2}$subspaceofthe$t_{2g}$ manifold, we propose a strategy to engineering quantum anomalous Hall antiferromagnets.
